Inspiral Carpets had been honing their skills in their native Manchester, England, when the replacement of their original singer with Too Much Texas's Tom Hingley--and an increased reliance on the Farfisa organ--soon put them at the forefront of that northern city's burgeoning Madchester scene. Their debut album, LIFE, finds the group expanding their sound beyond the poignant hit "This Is How It Feels," which is included here. The Elektra-released U.S. edition of LIFE adds tracks from their ISLAND HEAD EP, released contemporaneously with the album.
Engineers: Inspiral Carpets, Victor Van Vugt.
Inspiral Carpets: Clint Boon (vocals, keyboards); Tom Hingley (vocals); Graham Lambert (guitar); Martyn Walsh (bass); Craig Gill (drums).
Producers: Inspiral Carpets, Nick Garside, Gareth Jones.
Rolling Stone (1/24/91) - "...one of the top three bands of the hypertrendy Manchester scene...swirling, heady music..."
Spin (p.98) - "[The songs] were arms-aloft exemplars of the scene's defiant hedonism."
Q (8/95, p.143) - 3 Stars - Good - "...their debut album, their best work..." Inspiral Carpets Life Songs | 1. | Real Thing | |

Shakira's brand new English album She Wolf is an uptempo pop album. It is all about synthesizers and electronic concepts, all mixed with the world sounds that we are used to from Shakira.. sounds from countries like India, the Middle East and her home country of Colombia. She Wolf features a predominantly English track list with a follow up album of new and unique repertoire in Spanish to come in 2010. The title track "She-Wolf " boasts the infectious and energizing sound that made Shakira a household name, with a slightly more dancey/ electronic beat (about 125 beats per minute). Though most tracks on the upcoming album will be in English, Shakira chose to service the Spanish version of the first single, "Loba", two weeks before the English single is launched.
Last time around, Shakira touched upon so many styles she couldn't be contained ...

| | We Five Two Claasic Albums: You Were On My Mind/Make Someone Happy. CD (1996)
Life songs
$13.59 
Although often overshadowed by the Los Angeles and New York folk-rock scenes, San Francisco also contributed several notable bands. Among them are We Five, featuring Mike Stewart (vocals/guitar/banjo) -- brother of Kingston Trio member John Stewart -- Peter Fullerton (vocals/bass), Beverly Bivens (vocals), Bob Jones (guitar/vocals), and Jerry Bergan (guitar/vocals). The quintet was among the first Bay Area groups to have chart success merging acoustic-based folk music with electric instrumentation. This single CD, from mail-order archivists Collector's Choice Music, contains the quintet's first two long-players: You Were on My Mind and Make Someone Happy. Both titles are similar in style and content, charting the linear progression of pop music and its fusion with folk, rock & roll, and post-bop jazz. We Five shared this trait with more than a few of their regional contemporaries, including the pre-psychedelic Jefferson Airplane. The two even shared material -- most notably covers of "High Flying Bird" and "Let's Get Together" -- the band's final Top 40 hit. The song's author, Chet Powers (aka Jesse Oris Farrow, aka Dino Valente) also had direct ties to the Northern California folk scene as a member of Quicksilver Messenger Service. The band's infectious pop renderings also include several show tunes as well. "Somewhere" (West Side Story) and "My Favorite Things" (The Sound of Music), as well as the up-tempo and freewheeling "I Got Plenty o' Nuttin'" (Porgy and Bess) are among the exceptional adaptations from the stage and screen. Equally impressive are Bivens harmony lead vocals on an achingly haunting "Inchworm" (Hans Christian Andersen). The velveteen melody dances within Bivens voice with childlike awe and wisdom. A more subtle influence heard throughout is rooted in pop-jazz -- such as the Jobim-influenced samba heard on the title track from Make Someone Happy. The percussive rhythms and opaque sonic terrain make a perfect contrast for the light and chirpy vocals that are most reminiscent of Signe Anderson's tenure with the folky Jefferson Airplane before the acid had kicked in. Another successful fusion of jazz and pop is the cover of Vince Guaraldi's "Cast Your Fate to the Wind." The easygoing melody is perfectly suited to We Five's nimble delivery style and stands as one of the least-dated-sounding pieces on this two-fer. In light of the strength in the lesser-known material, the band's one big hit, "You Were on My Mind," quite frankly pales by contrast. However, it stands as a prime example of the genre-bending ...
| | Eskimo Joe A Song Is a City CD (2004) (Import) Australia
Life album
$22.99
SONG IS A CITY is the second album from Australian band Eskimo Joe and features nine live acoustic recordings from 2003.
Eskimo Joe's follow-up to their 2001 full-length debut Girl shows the band trying to shake off any expectation as well as the ghosts of their early releases. Simple, even juvenile songs like "Sweater" and "Turn Up Your Stereo" from the late '90s earned Eskimo Joe a place in many an Aussie teenager's brain, but after the modest success of their first album, it became clear that the group was growing up, and so was their music. After the clumsy opener "Come Down" fades, a driving melodic piano line ushers in "From the Sea," still hailed by some as the band's finest hour. Released weeks before the album, this first single signalled the beginning of a new era in more ways than one (Eskimo Joe were dumped from EMI's Modular label and then signed by Festival Mushroom in 2002). Vocalist Kav Temperley revealed that for this album, the band turned to their coastal hometown of Fremantle in Western Australia for inspiration, hence the album's title, and "From the Sea" is a clear indication of this. Bringing in the piano as a focal point on some cuts shows the direction Eskimo Joe are leaning towards, and they extend its use on their third album Black Fingernails, Red Wine. While this album is a little hit-and-miss with catchy pop gems lying next to the aimless ("I'm So Tired") and the wasted ("Carousel"), the trio have put some memorable tunes together. The wonderful ballad "Life Is Better with You" has an uplifting chorus ...
